TIL east bound passenger train, Hiram
Lewis conductor, last Sunday morning, al
nine O'Clock, some four miles east of Lexlng'
ton, overlook little Arthur, the two-year-old
son of Dennis Collins, colored, on the track
The train was going around a curve and II
was impossible to check it entirely before the
cow catcher struck the child and rolled II
over into q depression between two ties
The entire train passed over him, and whel
1t stopped those cognizant of the facs went Il
the rear coach to take up his mangled re
mains. Strange to say, the child was scarce
ly hurt at all. No ZONES were broken, ami

He was only scratched q little on the heal
and body. 1t wouldn't do, though, to try tn
experiment over with any hopes of q like re
suit.

equaled by any other railroad ip Missouri
This Is no exaggeration, but the slmpl
truth, as anyone may ascertain by going owe
the line. In addition to the character of tt
track the grade as now settled has u max

now this advantage cannot be oyerestimate
